Oh dear, oh dear. Off the wagon already. This is no good.

Wot we spent on buying food:

£3.98 Total so far for Project Frugal £13.17

Wot we bought:

2 x delicious, huge, meringues from Victor Hugo

Wot we should have bought but didn’t:

porridge oats

Wot we ate:

bacon sarnie & fried egg sarnie
OJ
Cappucino
a peculiar meal of rice and something else which seemed to be vegetables and tasted a bit vinegary to me. When I went into the kitchen later I saw the aftermath of the preparations for the peculiar meal. The aftermath did not shine any light on what my tea was but there were big knives everywhere and a wok and vinegar. While making our tea I can only think that Le Chef was distracted by The Archers or some shouty politician on Radio 4.
green tea
water
huge meringue (mine was raspberry)
Le Chef seemed to also eat an alarming number of Hershey Kisses without offering any to me. But I don’t care coz Hershey Kisses are evil. And I believe they have a laxative effect. That’ll teach him!

Reflections on frugality

I went cycling today. I went up Corstorphine Hill and then round Arthur’s Seat three times. As all cyclists know, cycling makes you crazy for food, especially cycling uphill. When I was done I was CRAZY FOR FOOD in that mad zombie GIMME BRAINS/FOOD way. All self control and frugality goes out the window when cyclists are like this. Cyclists will eat anything, including brains. but very very big and sugary meringues are preferred. And I did. No, not the brains, the meringues.
